much better mood today. we had a spain meeting last night, and i can't explain to you my enthusiasm. i simply can't wait until december 26, when we depart for madrid, espana. i mean, sure, it's going to be cool enough traveling to a foreign country rich with culture and history so far back that it makes america look like an infant. but to walk a medieval pilgrimage road that has been traversed for ages past, so wrought with emotion and spirituality? unbelievable. we (the goup that's going) have been reading up on the camino and all of the physical, mental, spiritual, and cultural experiences that we may have. it has peaked my interest and excitement more than anything else i have ever done in my life. i just can't explain it...
